[ Evie doesn't know what to make of it - the fog, the string of afflictions that seem to be linked to it, any of it. this is not a position she is used to being in, and not one that she much enjoys, either. she can't think of a single Piece of Eden that she has read about that could cause such effects, and perhaps more worryingly, neither has Mr. Green - Henry, she mentally corrects herself. the effects on the mind seem consistent with a haphazardly wielded Apple, but the fog simply doesn't add up. but on the other hand, if it is some kind of newly discovered airborne toxin, then it is one that is able to be spread on a scale and with a speed that's previously unheard of by modern science.

the entire affair is troubling, and it leaves her feeling unprepared and wrong-footed, going in without all of the facts. but the truth of the matter is, all of London is spiralling swiftly out of control. whoever is behind it all, whether it's a rogue Templar cell or some other threat, they need to be dealt with, and soon. at the very least, she and her brother can come out of tonight's excursion with more information than they have now, which is sparse indeed.

the one good thing about the thickness of the fog, she thinks, is that at least they can't be seen. but then, short of allowing themselves to tap into that sixth sense they have that makes the world glow with hidden meaning, it isn't as though they can see anyone that may come for them, either. one more thing to set her teeth on edge. ]


Nor I. I can barely see my own hand. [ she stretches one arm out ahead of her; the shape of her fingers is made blurry and indistinct by the density of the fog around them. she tugs the scarf over her nose and mouth up a fraction beneath her hood, squinting fruitlessly ahead. ] Whatever's causing all this, it can't be natural. I just wish we knew the motive for grinding all of London to a halt.
